Also too, while Marvel (on both sides of the Atlantic) loved the idea of Decepticon fragmentation, the idea of the Liege Maximo with a bigger empire in the wings.... hasn't really gone very far in most official writings. (Even RG1 Jhiaxus was basically His Own Show.) Contact with Nebulos and...

I reported it twice, and saw my comment like disappear.

I admit that I've only seen parts of that film, but the reunion scene between Sarah and "Carl" is powerfully acted. I suspect that a lot of people could not get past the initial premise, which admittedly read like James Cameron brandishing an upraised middle finger to the fandom. That said...

...the first one and Salvation? I mean, if I was forced to choose. Of course, then the re-use of Guns and Roses would make little sense.... But I liked Salvation, damnit. Even the part that shouldn't work at all -- John Connor with Batman's voice -- gives it a certain Narm Charm. 🙃

We may need to be a bit more general and a bit less specific on that point.... https://terminator.fandom.com/wiki/Legion

It's Friendster in 2011 all over again....

Alas, I didn't take the opportunity to record direct quotes, but the Earth Wars game has had over its long storyline some instances of post-Shroud dimension-hopping (which is how one is able to acquire Laser Rod Optimus and Armada Megatron, as well as Tonbot from an alternate Beast Wars). The...

An era which should not be forgotten -- and not solely remembered by the snarky asides Simon Furman puts in his Earth Wars scripts....

I suppose since Cybertronian mechafauna have been intermittently a thing since the Sunbow cartoon and Budiansky's "atechnogenesis" origin (back in Marvel #1 of 4), one could conceivably have a whole taxonomic scheme in parallel of Terran cladistics. The Grand Cybertronian Taxonomy, alas, had...

Alas, it perhaps should have been specified that that was 7 PM Eastern Standard Time. Canada is a big place, after all....

And now you know.... why I use that particular image when the Japanese G1 cartoon continuity rears up like Hojoni.

That's as may be, but did we hear that name in the broadcast episode? Even if we did, conflating "Primacron's assistant-Oracle" with "Beast Machines-Oracle" is just as much a later retcon as conflating "Creation Matrix" with "Matrix of Leadership", or putting Optimus' spark chamber in front of...

A suggestion will hint at an explanation, but if it's not spelled out we can't really say we have an explanation per se. Still, a quick jaunt to TFWiki tells us that a vague hint about Primacron's unnamed assistant (whom Japanese G1 source texts would years later conflate with Vector Sigma and...

I wouldn't say that fans forget, at least not completely. For more than once someone has asserted that Sunbow-Mindwipe must have been a Unicron cultist, per his line re: "the powers of darkness", only to be reminded that it isn't necessarily so, as a strict reading of Sunbow continuity would...

I think that the Daniel Witwicky hate brigade largely got things out of their system with the intro/prologue to 3H's Beast Machines Wreckers comic (where Daniel and Wheelie die in a battle against an army of Nightbirds).

That had been my assumption as well, even prior to the era of Multiversal Singularities. Instead of falling into and reformatting inert planetesimals (and as an aside, Furman's origin doesn't *quite* gel with Budiansky's original Saturn-size estimate for Cybertron, though that's usually...

Well, I couldn't resist teasing him a bit with my "Portrait of Markiplier" post. (Also throwing in a Morbius meme reference, because that's just how I am). At least the main event (with secret Halloween treat video link!) was appreciated by some. 🙂 I mean, if you're going to talk about AI art...

Oh well, sure, of course in Japan's G1 cartoon continuity, such would happen, but as we all know Japan's G1 cartoon continuity is the "and the kitchen sink, too" of continuity mashups. As usual, I blame MegaZarak. 🙃

Ah. Well, I think my modest contributions have counted (though for the Halloween/AI art commentary special I wanted to curate a certain mix of styles). Not having gotten any feedback from the primary curator, I was a little worried that i might have Done It Wrong.

I'd asked Sabrblade to post the news in question here, but having waited a while I guess I'll do so myself.... So, the promotional video here has, among other things, recreated Toei-style animation to illustrate the previous war. By itself, such means little, as Sunbow footage was directly...
